Ask your child regularly about the results of their exams, tests, and other assignments. Which subject is giving them trouble?
Talk to the teachers: Do they have any tips on how your child can keep up better in class? Does the school offer free tutoring programs?
Is your child at risk of failing to meet key learning goals, and is there no other support available at their school? If so, we’ll cover the costs of tutoring. Have the teacher confirm that your child needs additional support to meet the class requirements.
The teacher will fill out the “Learning Support” form with you. If the requirements are met, you will receive a notice regarding the approved hours. The tutoring providers you select can then bill us directly for the costs.
Submit an application and attach the “Learning Support” form.
Please refer to the information sheet for details on the application. You can find the relevant application form in the “Information Sheets, Downloads, Links” section.
